Genesis 11:21
“And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 11Meaning
Reu lives two hundred seven more years after Serug's birth, with additional sons and daughters forming the wider household.
Read carefully
The verse combines chronological information with a selective lineage and should not be treated as though it were a complete population register.
Reflection
The repeated formula stresses continuity: generations pass, families grow, and the narrative line moves forward.
